Contrary to Trump’s statements, senior Israeli and U.S. officials said that the United States had prior knowledge of the Israeli strike and even approved it in an attempt to pressure Iran. After the Iranians retaliated against Qatar’s gas fields, Trump is now changing course
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid

🚨🚨🚨Trump on Truth Social: Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so

South Korea is lifting a cap on coal-fired power generation (until now set at 80% of capacity) to offset the loss of LNG The flexibility of Asia to performan gas-to-coal switching (and its enormous coal-fired fleet) provides a layer of insulation that Europe didn't have in 2022

great overview of impact of the Hormuz closure on LNG from @ira_joseph. to the extent substitution can happen in the power sector, it looks like it will be coal picking up the slack (along with higher prices and demand destruction) #how_will_lng_importers_be_affected_by_the_middle_east_conflict" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">energypolicy.columbia.edu/us-israeli-att…

The @EIAgov's outlook now projects U.S. production averaging 13.8 million barrels per day in 2027, up from roughly 13.6 mbd this year on the strength of the revised price forecast. It's a roughly 500k swing from last month's version. #OOTT

🚨Breaking: The Energy Department's stats & analysis arm now sees slight rise in U.S. crude production next year, reversing projections of a slight drop. It's an early — and written in faint pencil of course — sign of the #IranWar's longer term effect. #OOTT #EnergyCrisis #energy
